Jackson’s “not bad for a running back” comment after the Ravens’ season-opening dismantling of the Dolphins last week was understandable, especially after he threw five touchdowns and recorded a perfect passer rating to silence those he views as remaining doubters. The Baltimore QB’s performance in a 23-17 victory over the Cardinals in Week 2, though, should create a new question. “Can Lamar Jackson throw the ball?” — a concern that should have been silenced long before Jackson buried Arizona on Sunday with a 41-yard, third-down, fourth-quarter dime to Hollywood Brown — needs to be replaced by, “Is Lamar Jackson on his way to becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL?...

As Micah Roberts reported yesterday, most Vegas books moved to Patriots -1 as the point spread for the game, and totals are between 48 and 48.5.

The Tollund Man was discovered in 1950 by peat diggers, according to Denmark’s Museum Silkeborg. The corpse was found deep in a bog, curled up with a rope around his neck, leading researchers to conclude that he had been hanged. The Tollund Man was 30 to 40 years old at the time of his death, and, because he had spent the past thousands of years in a peat bog, his body was remarkably well-preserved and naturally mummified, offering a rare glimpse into human life during ancient times....
